What we aim to achieve
Am I a carer?

Do you help to look after someone a few hours a week (or more) that relies on you for emotional, medical, personal or physical care or help with domestic tasks? You could be a carer and would possibly benefit from the support of Worcestershire Integrated Carers Hub. CALL OUR HELPLINE ON 0300 012 4272.
